Program Description

This program is designed for students wanting to complete a two-year AAS Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology and enter the workforce. Students explore electronics fundamental theories, applications and troubleshooting. Students interact with electronic devices and systems through a combination of hands-on lab activities and computer simulation preparing them for careers in a wide range of electronics positions. The labs allow students to become highly proficient in the use of standard electronic test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, digital multimeters and power supplies. Courses include instruction in the fundamentals of DC and AC electricity, robotics, PLCs and automated controls, digital logic and microprocessors, and RF power systems.
